Legislative alert: Special Session of NC Legislature called to discriminate

The NC Legislature has called a special session beginning Wednesday, March 23, 2016, to void Charlotte’s LGBT ordinance that allows transgender people to use the restroom consistent with their sexual identity.

The most general argument against the bill (appropriate for legislators who do and those who do not support LGBTQ rights) is that the legislature should not over-rule local governments on this matter. If you know that your legislator(s) is supportive of LGBTQ rights, you may also use LGBTQ rights arguments to support your position.
